There was a tie-behind swim buoy advertised in Swimmer Magazine a few issues ago. How many of you use them and what are some benefits?

    I've got one of the large ones also... its a drag. The smaller units were provided and required for all the swimmers in this 21k swim I did in Sweden on Aug 4. We had a bit of a head wind, but everyone wore them. They do add a bit of time, but are hardly noticeable. do you mean the drag is hardly noticeable or the buoy itself? Cheers!
